I'm new to your website. First, let me say, It's GREAT! A wealth of info that is so so helpful. In reviewing your getting starting and overview pages, I notice that you list a picnic table and bench, but then indicate that you no longer have it. You also indicate that your slide out tray is no longer there. I could read five years' worth of journal entries and possibly find the answer, but I thought it would be easier just to ask you here! Just wondering..... thanks. Mike and Linda

Hi Mike & Linda!
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to you. We've had this little Rally thing going, and I've been a bit busy.
You can also find it at the Camping World website, but the link above provided more details.
It's pretty cool. But, when it is all folded up, it's pretty heavy and hard to store. We had to put it flat on our fifth wheel "basement" floor, and then when we wanted to use it, I had to unload everything that we had stowed on top of it.
Eventually, due to the inconvenience and the weight and the fact that we just didn't use it very much, it became expendable.
We replaced that set with one of those aluminum roll-top camp tables. It's a Lewis & Clark Fold & Go table with adjustable legs. Sam's Club used to carry them, but not anymore. I could only find a website or two that still has the basic table, but none that have the exact one we have (with the adjustable legs/height) anywhere.
As for the basement slide-out tray, it was another very heavy accessory and it came with the rig. We thought it was a nice feature .... at first.
However, it wasn't practical for full-time use. For best use it required stowing stuff of the appropriate width on it - well, our stuff comes in all shapes and sizes. Then, we learned we couldn't pack around the edges of it or else it would get stuck and wouldn't work. Basically, it prevented full use of our basement space and added a lot of weight.
So, I took it out and left it (and the hardware) by a dumpster in a big RV park. It was gone within an hour.
Hope that's what you were looking for.

Yes, in the beginning, we had this Lifetime brand Hunter Green Folding Picnic Table & Bench Set.
